Chapter 1791 Still far behind
Hearing what Zhao Chen said, Xu Shiji also had a wry smile on his face.
Just as Zhao Chen said, hadn't Goguryeo colluded with Japan a long time ago?
In order to hinder the Tang Dynasty's border troops, they even took huge risks to burn down the granary behind Shacheng.
"Then we should capture the Silla capital as soon as possible, before Yeon Gaesumun and the Japanese have reached an agreement." Xu Shiji said quickly.
Yeongaesomun also had 100,000 troops, and Wa and Baekje had 200,000 troops.
Their number alone was three times that of their Tang Dynasty border army.
If the Goguryeo army had not joined forces with the Japanese and Baekje armies, they would have captured the Silla capital as soon as possible.
Once they get along, I'm afraid I won't have much chance.
But at this moment, Zhao Chen was a little hesitant. .??.
On the one hand, it is because the capital of Silla is not a small city. Once the siege begins, the frontier soldiers will suffer heavy losses.
On the other hand, he still doesn't know what Wu Xu's current situation is.
Attacking the city hastily would probably make Wu Xu's situation even more difficult.
But if we don't attack the city, I'm afraid...
"Your Highness, what are you worried about?" Xu Shiji asked when Zhao Chen didn't speak.
Zhao Chen shook his head.
"Let the soldiers be prepared to attack the city early tomorrow morning!" Zhao Chen looked at Xu Shiji and gave him the order to attack the city.
When we attack the city tomorrow, even if something happens to Wu Xu, Zhao Chen cannot put the army in danger.
The longer time passes, the more disadvantageous it will be to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty's border army.
As for Wu Xu, she is very smart and should be fine.
"Yes!" Xu Shiji nodded, turned around and went to convey the order.
"Zhao Da, that Wu Xu..." Cheng Chumo reminded Zhao Chen, thinking that Zhao Chen had forgotten that Wu Xu was also in the city.
Zhao Chen didn't say anything, just glanced at Cheng Chumo, turned around and left.
\u003e …
"Miss Wu, it's safe here for the time being. Miss Wu is here, I'm going to find something to eat."
In the royal capital of Silla, Wu Xu and the Xuanjia Army soldiers were hiding in a dilapidated house in a slum.
Although Yeon Gaesumun prohibited Goguryeo soldiers from continuing to humiliate the people of Silla.
Even killed a few typical ones.
But it seems that Yeon Gaesumun is not in the Silla capital now, and there are always some soldiers under his command who remain stubborn.
Yesterday, the house where Wu Xu was temporarily staying was discovered by two Goguryeo soldiers. When they saw Wu Xu, they were immediately shocked.
Naturally, he wanted to take action against Wu Xu.
During the dispute, Xuanjia Army soldiers arrived and killed these two blind bastards.
But it also alarmed other Goguryeo soldiers.
They had no choice but to escape and wander all the way to this dilapidated house.
Fortunately, the Goguryeo soldiers did not pursue us here.
After all, this is a slum, and there is nothing of value, so no one is too lazy to come here.
At this moment, they had not eaten for a day, and their stomachs were growling with hunger.
"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Xu nodded.
The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army said nothing, held hands with Wu Xu, and then left quickly.
The houses here are dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, making them uninhabitable.
And she can't leave here at will now.
The streets are full of Goguryeo soldiers, and if you are not careful, you may be caught by them.
In order to avoid being recognized, Wu Xu grabbed some mud from the ground and smeared it on his face and body.
People from the slums passed by from time to time. Although I was a little surprised to see a girl here,
But no one took the initiative to ask questions.
They themselves can't protect themselves, so how can they bother to care about the lives of others.
Soon, the Xuanjia Army soldiers came back with two pieces of dry food and a jug of water.
Nowadays, people in the city are in panic, so it is good to be able to get dry food.
"Miss Wu, when I was getting food just now, I heard someone talking on the street, saying that our Tang Dynasty's border troops had arrived outside the city."
"The Goguryeo troops in the city are currently mobilizing, and they are expected to attack the city soon." Xuanjia Army soldiers said the news they had just received.
"Is there any news about the King of Han?" Wu Xu was a little worried about Zhao Chen.
She had also heard a lot of news about the new city before.
It was said that the entire New City garrison was wiped out and no one came back.
Yeon Gaesumun also ordered the new city to be burned down.
This made Wu Xu very worried about Zhao Chen's situation.
But the Xuanjia Army soldiers shook their heads.
He did not find out any information about Zhao Chen. Thinking that something might really happen to Zhao Chen, the faces of the Xuanjia Army soldiers darkened.
Wu Xu didn't say anything anymore. She didn't believe that Zhao Chen would die like that.
Some of the previous crises were more dangerous than this one, and Zhao Chen wasn't always in trouble.
This time she believed it too.
"Don't worry, he will be fine. You have been following him for so long, and you still don't believe in his abilities?" Wu Xu said with a smile.
At this moment, it was Wu Xu who comforted the Xuanjia Army soldiers.
The Xuanjia Army soldier nodded, finished the dry food in his hand, and then walked into the dilapidated house and packed up the sundries inside.
Since he had obeyed His Highness's order, he naturally wanted to ensure Wu Xu's safety.
…
"General Tuoshe, the Tang Dynasty border troops outside the city are in an emergency.
Build siege engines and trebuchets. It is estimated that they will attack the city in the next two days! "In the main hall of the Silla Royal Capital, Tuoshe is presiding over the discussion.
Although he didn't like such a thing, Yuengai Suwen had no choice but to ask him to do it.
He could only bite the bullet.
News came today that the Tang Dynasty border troops were frantically cutting down trees and building trebuchets and siege engines outside the city.
This was obviously a sign of preparations for siege.
The border troops of the Tang Dynasty were much stronger in attacking the city than they were in Goguryeo.
The Goguryeo generals were worried that they would not be able to defend the Silla capital.
"Why panic!" Tuoshe said coldly.
Tuoshe had always been domineering in the Goguryeo army, and no one dared to provoke him.
What's more, the army is still in charge of Tuo She.
After being dragged and scolded, no one dared to speak.
"When the commander left, he said that no matter what, we would guard the capital of Silla and wait for his return."
"Tomorrow I will go out of the city to challenge in person, and you all should be watched carefully by this general, how I kill them." Tuo She looked at everyone with disdain.
Zhao Chen had died in the fire in Xincheng. Tuo She believed that no one in the Tang Dynasty could defeat him again.
If I go to challenge myself tomorrow, I will definitely be able to kill the entire Tang Dynasty border army.
They were killed so hard that they didn't dare to raise their heads.
"With General Tuo She coming out, the generals of the Tang Dynasty's border army will probably tremble."
"Of course, everyone knows General Tuo She's abilities. Now that Zhao Chen is dead, who else in the Tang army will be General Tuo She's opponent."
"Then Zhao Chen is just relying on his own brute strength. If he really wants to fight, he is still far behind General Tuoshe."
"It's a pity that Zhao Chen died too early, otherwise General Tuo She would chop off his head sooner or later."
